The transcript also depicts air traffic controllers trying to warn the pilots to abort the landing seconds before the crash, which killed one person.

The National Transportation Safety Board on Wednesday released the transcript and other details of the crash at Aspen-Pitkin County Airport on January 5, 2014.

The documents did not discuss the cause of the crash. That will be part of a final report, which is not expected for several weeks.

The twin-jet Bombardier CL 600 was on a flight to Aspen from Tucson, Arizona, with a pilot, a co-pilot and one passenger, who was also a licensed pilot. All were from Mexico and all were in the cockpit.

"(Expletive) winds are screwed," one person says on the transcript, which was translated from Spanish by safety board investigators. The transcript doesn't identify which of the three men is speaking.

The report said the pilots were making their second attempt to land when they crashed. They aborted their first attempt a few minutes earlier, telling air traffic controllers the wind was 33 knots (38 mph).

The co-pilot, Sergio Carranza Brabata, was killed. The pilot and a passenger were injured. Authorities have identified the survivors as Moises Carranza and Miguel Henriqez but have not said who was the passenger.

The report said the man serving as pilot on the flight had only 12 to 14 hours of flying time in a Bombardier CL 600, including training. He had a total of about 17,000 hours flying other aircraft, including much larger Airbus airliners. The co-pilot's hours in the CL-600 were not listed.

The passenger was an experienced CL 600 pilot and was a friend of the flight crew, and they had invited him along for advice, the report said.
